PEsrH, November 26.-The Pesther
Lloyd says that the interview between
Prince Bismarck and the Gar was a
lramatic one. Bismarck was scarcely
able to restrain his passi N. The Gar
assured the German Chancellor that
he desired peace, and did not intend
to attack Germany or take part in any
coalition against her. Prince Bis
marck declared that whatsoever de.
sired peace must not attack Germany g
allies. He presented the casus foede,Is
clearly to the Gar, who alleged that

equally to Austria.

tween the two governments. 1t was
after the Gar hal heard of the mat
ter by Prince Bismarck that he gave
